I gaze out my window longingly
at the gleeful stars
hear them calling the enlightened ones
to join them in their gleeful shining
and I am confident
that regardless of who else is in your life
that sometimes
you gaze at these same stars
thinking only of me
summoning all my will
I appreciate this gesture
gratefully, with clenched teeth
and a shit-eating grin
I imagine that this is enough
and envision you
reaching the stars in glee
and I believe
laughingly, lovingly
I consider ways to help you
to reach this destiny
regardless of if it ever
puts you within my reach
or perhaps someday
we will reach the stars
together, alone, whatever
and this will be irrelevant
then again, if all we ever do
is bring one another small comfort
and perhaps a daydream or two
(or forty nine thousand two hundred sixty four)
that will have been enough
and yet...

Great work..
It is just a beautiful poem of the heart of the poet with so much universal love and with so much beauty of the humans here...It is a great passion of the love bringing the huge strength of this gesture of love...The beauty of this work lies in its pace and the concept which is rarely seen now these days neither in poetic world nor in the personnel life of the humane...Indeed so much power of the life is here... -

Very well stated requests.
Interesting language flow, added to your notes below, gives the reader insight, though.
As Ive seen your comments often thought I'd check your work ... and I am impressed.

Just like that song, "Oh, no! I've said too much, I haven't said enough..." Yes, I always make an impression. It is not always a good one, but I always make one. Thanks for slumming in my neck of the woods.

... now whattayadoingonmystarpoet!
What a lovely way to say: I love you but go be you ...
One day when I meet you (up there?), I will give you all the unwritten poemies I've tucked away in the shimmering stars. Please remind me to also give you the one which you've written inside my soul with your precious wand of wonder words -- the Forever Poem of Fantastic Freedom. Love
Always Myra

I'm doing a love dance in a sheer chiffon dress, if you must know... I am sorry to inform you that I tripped over this poem, Forever Poem of Fantastic Freedom, on a recent stardance, and will be posting it here shortly...
In other words, I'm not at all ashamed to steal your ideas!
